She and her peers have been given NEW HOMES. For Heaven's sake, NEW HOMES. In a nice, new suburban neighborhood.

A shopping shuttle does not even begin to break even for a $2.00 per passenger fare. Not even begins to. And, thus, taxpayers fund them.

Her city certainly has a Senior Shuttle service...maybe she can get incentivized ("must buy Christmas tree") and ask the City to organize a one-time Holiday Shuttle service for the neighborhood. Unfortunately, the woman does not seem to be problem solving but self-pitying. She needs motivation.

I wasn't talking about just shopping for Christmas. I meant shopping for groceries and whatever. And I didn't mean for the $ to cover the entire cost. Obviously it wouldn't, but a few dollars from each would help defray the cost a little, and not be giving a total handout, and it doesn't seem like such a big thing for the city to do.

Was she just GIVEN a new home? Or is she buying one? Who is making the payment? Rent or mortgage?

Either way, how does a 30 minute walk (2 miles?) and a bus ride turn into a 30$ cab fare?

I know! Let's all send her a pine needle. Then, all during the long, laying about, doing nothing days she has, she can glue them to the wall, and make her own darn tree!
